PARLIA MENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10. DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. The House was opened at twelve o'eloelc, and the Peers' Benches were very soon afterwards graced tvith a display of female beauty and -ele gance surpassing any. former occasion of a similar olestription. The number of Ladies, all splen slidlY attired, who were present yesterday, ex re.-ded eVett the liftestdance on the day when the Prince Regent fit st came to the Ilonse after as :smiting the Regency. Her Royal ilie.hness the flachess Vambridge came into the [louse, ac compailied by the Duke her consort, and attended by a Lady of her household ; the Grand Duke Michael, of Russia, the Foreign Ministers, and many other per3ons of distinction, were also pre sent ; a great crowd of strangers were likewise t elow the R4r. The Lord Chancellor, in his state robes, en treed the house about one o'clock, and Prayers evcre immediately rt:ail by the Bishop a Landau - . About eight minutes after two, salvoes of ar tillery announced the arrival of the Prince Re gent, and svott afterwards, his Royall-lighness, having put on his robes, entered the house with the usual state and proceision, the Sword of State being carried before Lim by the Earl of Li- vernool. • His Royal Highness Itawing taken his seat upon the 'Throne, siirrxmloird by his Ministers, the Great Officers of his Household, and other at tendants, Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was ordered by his Royal Highness to proceed to the House of Com- Bums to command their attendance. . Shortly afterwards the Speaker, in his dress robes, accompinieti by a great number of Mem bers, cause to the Bar. The SPEAKER delivered at the Bar the follow ing speech : " Miry it please your rtnyal If hness, " We, his Majesty's faithful Commons of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, attend your Royal High. ness with our last Bill of Supply. " In obedience, Sir, to your Royal Highness's recommenda tion, we have not failed to apply our anxious and continued attention to the state of the Public Income and Expenditure, —and heavy as unquestionably the weight and pressure still remain upon our Finances, we have the satisfaction to ob serve that the Revenue, in its most important branches, is gradually and progressively improving. " Among the various duties, Sir, in which we have been engaged, there is tionejerhaps, that could hare devolved upon us, more interesting in itself, or more in unison, we are persuaded, with the sincere and unfeigned sentiments of all classes of his Majesty's subjects, than the duty of adapting the necessary measures for the fulfilment of those engagss. molts which your Itoyal Highness was graciously pleased to cotnmunicate to us as having been concluded with the Courts of Spain and Portugal on the subject of the Slave Trade. " Nor, Sir, have we been less attentive to anotber subject of great public importance earnestly recommended by your Royal Highness to our early and particular consideration— the deficiency which has so long existed in the number of places of Public Worship belonging to the Established Church. To the remedy of this deficiency we have mos t readily afforded large and liberal assistance, Well convinced that the first alai dearest interests of this country, its truest happiness, its soundest prosperity, its surest independence, -its proudest and most substantial national glory, are all in volved a.nd blended intimately and insepafahly in the religious and moral habits of its People. " The Bill, Sir, which it is now my duty humbly to pre sent to your Royal Highness, is intituled—' An Act fbr ap plying certain Monies therein mentioned for the service of the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighteen ;' —to which, with all humility, we pray his Majesty's Royal Assent." The above Bill was received by Mr. Cowper, the Deputy Clerk of the Parliaments, and the Royal Assent was immediately given to it, and also to the Alien 13111, the Aliens' Naturalization Prevention Bill, the Education of the Poor Bill, the Abolition of the Slave Trade Amendment Bill, the Irish Fisheries Bill, the Brighthelmston Gas Light Bill., and a few other Bills. SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT deli vered from the Throne the following Speech " My Lords and Gentlemen, " It is with deep regret that I am again under the neces sity of announcing to you that no alteration has occurred in the state of his Majesty's lamented Indisposition. " I continue to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their ft iendly disposition towards this Country, and of their desire to maintain the General Tranquillity. '• I am fully sensible of the attention which you have paid ` - "to the many important objects which have been brought be fore you. " I derive peculiar satisfaction from the Measure which youhave adopted, in pursuance of my recommendation, for augmenting the number of places of Public Worship• belong ing to the. , Establistied Church ; and I confidently trust, that this measure will he productive of the most beneficial effects on the religion and moral habits of the Peopfe. " Gentlemen of the Molise of Commons, " I thank you for the Supplies which yeu have granted to me for the service of the present year; and I highly approve of the steps you have taken with a view to the reduction of the Unfunded Debt. " I am happy to be able to inform you that the Revenue is in a course of continued improvement. " fify Lords and Gentlemen, '" On closing this Session I think it proper to inform you, that is my intention forthwith to dissolve the present, and to give directions for calling a new Parliament. In making this communication, I cannot refrain from adverting to the important change which has occurred in the situation of this Country and of Europe since I first met you in this place. " At that period, the dominion of the common enemy had been so widely extended over the Continent, that resistance to his power was by many deemed to be hopeless; and in the .extremities of Europe alone was such resistance effec tually maintained. " By ti.e unexampled exertions which you enabled me to make, in aid of Countries nobly contending for Independence, and by the spirit which was kindled in so many Nations, the Cunk:lti'9lt . ,W4f at lvesgth delivered ftorn the most gifting and oppressive tyranny under which it had ever laboured; and had the happiness, by the blessing of Divine Providence, to terminate, in conjunction with his Majesty'fAllies, the most eventful and sanguinary contest in which ~Europe had for centuries been engaged, with unpartaleled success and glory. " The prosecution of such a contest for so Many years, and more particularly the efforts which marked the close of it, hare teen followed within our own Country, as well as throughout the rest . of Europe, by Considerable internal dif ficulties and distress. But, deeply as I felt for the imme diate pressure upon Ins Nlaje.ty's People, I neyertheless looked forward without dismay, having always the fullest confidence in the .sol i dity of the resources of the British Em pire, and in the xelief Which might be expected from a ton tiottance of peace, and from the patience; public spirit, am% energy of the Narhm. " These expectations have not been disappOititod. " The improvement in the internal circumstances of the country is happily maniftet, and promises to be steadily pro gressive; and I feel a perftet 'assurance that the continued loyalty and exertions of all classes of his Majesty's subjects will confirm these growing indications of national prosperity, by promoting obedience to the laws and attachment to the Constitution, from which all -our blessings have been derived."

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. After a short pause, the LORD Ctrawcrttort ap proached the Throne, and having• made his ohei sances, and received his Royal Highness's com mends for tilt put pose, came forward, and ad dressed both Houses as follows My Lords, and Genttrun-ft, " It is the will and pleasure of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, acting in the-name and on the behalf of Isis Majesty, that this Parliament be now dissolved; and this Par !lament is dissolved accordingly." The PRINCE REGENT and the Royal Suite then retired, the Comn►ot►s withdrew to their lute House, and their Lordships separated. . HOUSE OF COMMONS. At half-past one o'clock the Speaker took the Chair. ALLEN BILL. A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships• assent to the Bill preventing Aliens, until the 25th MArch, 1819,. front being naturtf iized, or from being or becoming denizens,,under certain limitations. Mr. GOULBUNN presented Copies of Colonial Correspoudence.—Ordered to be 'Hinted. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. XVILBERFORCE understood, that notwith standing the abolition of the Slave Trade by France, it had latterly been carried on with cir cumstances of unparalleled atrocity by French ves sels North-west of the Line. Nut only one, but he was informed many murders had been corn initted.. - Under such circumstances, he thought it his duty to move for a copy of any Correspond ence which might have taken place between his Majesty's Ministers and the French Government with respect to the carrying on of the Slave , Trade by French subjects North-west of the Line. • Lord CASTLEREAGH appealed to the Hon. Gen tleman, whether he was not aware of the difficul ty which had attended the total repression of the slave Trade by the British Government after it had been abolished. liThere great interests were concerned, it was impoisible at once to cause any prohibitory law to be carried into full execution. The sincerity of the French Government should not, therefore, be called into question, because some of its subjects still continued to disobey the law. With respect to the papers moved for, they were not in such a shape as to enable them to be laid before the House, and even if they were, the Session was so near its termination, that the or der to produce them, if agreed to, could not be carried into effect. Under these circumstances, he trusted his lion. Friend would see the propriety of withdrawing his motion. Mr. WILBERFORCE should not object to with draw his motion. He wished at the same time, however, to point out the obstinacy of one power, Portugal, which was the only nation which had not yet consented to the definitive abolition of - the Slave Trade. Lord CASTLEREAGH expressed his hope that Portugal might be soon, persuaded to relinquish that commet ce. With respect to the French Go. vernment, he wished to add, as a proof of the sincere interest which it' toot in die abolition of the Slave Trade, that it had not only displaced die Governor of the Island of Bourbon, for favouring that trade, but had lately caused an inquiry to he instituted into the conduct of another of its Go• vernors, in the African seas, on charges of a si milar nature. The motion having been withdrawn, Soou after two o'clock the Usher of the Black Rod required the attendance of the House in the House of Lords. The *raker and the Members present (to the number of about 80) accordingly attended. IVlien the Members of the House of Commons returned to their House after the dissolution, di vested of their legislative character, Mr. Manners Sutton, the late Speaker, offered to lead the Speech at the Table, as is usual after a prologs.- tion. Air. TIERNEY objected to eny such proceeding, as implying some approbation of this mode of-dis solution, which llc considered as an insult to Par liament. Mr. M. SUTTON observed, that be had con sulted Mr. Hatsell this morning on a case where there WiS no precedent, there having been no such dissolution since that of the (Mord Parnettle-tit, in the reign of Charles 11. The difficulty did not depend on the Members present_ being no longer a House of Parliament. That circumstance equally existed in the case of a pror s ogation. But the peculiar difficulty of this case consisted in his be ing no longer a Speaker. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the Gentlemen present might incur a prtzmunire, if they appeared to deliberate as a House of Commons. It was remarked, that there could be no harm in a conversation between Mr. C. M. Sutton and his Friends round die table.—Tbe Speech was not read.--The House thewseparated. THE SUN. SOLEM Qtits DI•tEHE FALsU3I AUDEAT ? LONDON, THURSILIY, JUNE li, !81S. We received this, morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The following are extracts : " PARIS, JUNE B.—The king held R Court yesterday at the Thiril'cries, at WI were pre sent the Dignitaries, the Ministers, the Marshals, the Foreign Ministers, &c. &c. &c. " The Duke sl'Angonleme set out this mooning at six o'clock, to join the Duchess at Vichy. " FRANKFORT, JUSS 2.—The Military Com rnittee of the Diet sits almost daily. " The Duke of Kent has been for some time at Coburg. " AIX-LA-CIIAPELLB 4 MAY 25.—Nothing h talked of here but the Congress of Sovereigns, for whose reception the greatest preparations are making. WAasAw, M.kv 21.—The Emperor of Russia arrived on the 3d inst. at Gregorowska, a chateau belonging to the Countess Rzewaska, Princess Lubomersko by birth. His Imperial Majesty the next day inspected the 7th Carps d'Arm4e, corn ['landed. by General the Prince Gorezakow. On the sth the Emperor made a general review of the troops in the plain, between Gregorowska and Paszkoce. In the evening, lie attended a ball given by the Countess Rtewerska, and en the 6th set out to proceed by Kaminiec and Choczim, to Kischenow, in Bessarabia." We trust that our Countrymen in general, and we are persuaded that all the well-dis posed and loyal part of them will, must agree with us in thinking that the Speech from the Throne, delivered yesterday, and which we give in the regular form this day, is one of the most satisfactory and cheering that ever was presented to the Natiou. Internal peace, an' in creasing revenue, growing prosperity of every kind, harmony wine all other Nations, and con sequently the prospect of a most floraishihg Com merce, open wider views. of national advantage. All these benefits result from the persevering wisdom, prudence, and vigour of the present Go vernment. It has had, amidst all its salutary ef forts, to contend with the moat pertinacious and virulent Opposition that ever endeavoured to dis turb measures necessary for the national welfare. Ministers therefore, it may fairly be said, have discharged their duty with honour to themselves and advantage to the Country. They have done more ; for, by following the system end support ing the principles of Mr. PITT, the most wise, virtuous, and illustrious Statesman to whom the Government of any Country was ever submitted, they have eminently contributed to the Deliver ance of Europe. Thvy will now • have an in terval, not merely of ease, but undisturbed by Party and Faction, within or without, in order to pursue the same line of conduct, to adopt measures for strengthening and improving the na tionalprosperity, for preserving the relations of amity and commercial intercourse with other Countries, and rendering Great Britain, what it ought to be, the admiration of all surrounding States, and th e must glorious Empire on Earth. Let it not be forgotten that PARLIAMENT also. has done its duty. It has penetrated through the artifice and despised time clamours of Party. It persevered in a firm and even course, differing with Ministers, on someoccasions, with an honourable spirit of in dependence, but supporting their measures in gene ral from a full conviction that they had the true in terest and honour of the nation in view. We therefore, from time same full conviction, declare, that we shall be perfectly satisfied, whatever the Brawlers of Faction may say, to see the New PARLIAMENT animated by the same public spirit, the same patriotic : zeal, and the same Legislativv wisdcm, that characterised the PaatzAmeNT which has been dissolved, and has afforded the Elective Body an opportunity of returning Members equally disposed to uphold and maintain the interest and honour of time-Empire. l‘linisters displayed considerable adroitness yes terday in the mode they adopted for promptly dissoiving the i'arliaiiietli; i n torririg e 3; delay of a prorogatiiitt. they thus tuda e time lost dircitigit the mantetivres of the °P P ° s Igtte: i tido, and it good deal klisappiiiited the wliu were hot prepared to expect id idiniedill(e dissolution. It In:1y be proper to&merle' Ill ! there has been no precedent for a dissolatioll its; Vanier like that of yesterday since the re i g il CHARLES H. . The conduct pursued by a Committee ° inane!' of the Legislature eiccites at this 1101" to great attention awl alarm, from the t otgi o ,i regard which it has sliewn to the pfitiell' letis ?4 Niles which have invariably regulated thl C4iil 4 l of Law and Equity in the Adriiitiiitra tl°ll ,i Justice in similar cases. Whether the r‘ fti roli instant which are mentioned will be trfl° i.e _: l o ,lo disclosed to the Public, and whether the on which this Committee ventured to irss" rnl ti . l o • exercise of bIdRE than Judicial Power glad 4tlt city will be avowed, may probably ti lie shewn, but of this fact we arc satisfied, th" (*c i all the circumstances utten:lant on the itiii°l4o don, to which. ire refer, are before the Publ ic ' b e l will be astonished at the effort which 1 1 " 4 , 00 0 successfully made to exercise an authorill' tit dangerous to the Liberties awl Propertie ° d o People than was ever attempted at any V cri d - o ri the History of the Country, either before 'lc THE REVOLUTION.
